In the drawings, 10 is a polishing wheel adapted to polishthe heels ofboots and shoes after the preliminary trimming and burnishing operationshave 2 taken place. The polishing wheel 10 is mounted upon 'a shaft 11,which may be rotatablymounted in suitable bearings (not shown) anddriven by a pulley andbelt (not shown).' The shaft 11 is provided with abore 12 extending longitudinally thereof, said bore terminating'in ashoulder 13 at the right hand end thereof. The shaft 11 is also providedwith, a bore 14 extending longitudinally thereof, said bore beingsmaller in'dialneter A than the bore 12, A rod 15 .is mounted within theshaft 11 and comprises a cylindrical portion 16 which closely fits therecess 14 of the shaft 11. .The ro 1'5'also cont V prises a taperedextension 17 which is of smaller diameter than the recess 12 and is.

The cap 2.1 closely conto turn on. the hubindependently ;of the polishing wheel. 7, Said disk 25 is provided onits periphery with a continuous series of serrations 26 adapted to milla heeli or imprint upon the heel the line or row of in- The milling diskis arranged to form the line of indentations around the upper portionofthe heel at a short distance from its top end, as shown in Figs. 2and 3.

A rand guide having a lip 27 to enter the rand crease 31 between theupper and the top of the heel is mounted upon the outerend of the rod 15which is free or unconfined 'so that'the guide can move radially withrelation to the milling disk in anv d1- recti'on according to thedirection of the pressure of the heel against it. The guide is locatedadjacent to the cap 21 of the polishing wheel 10, and is provided with.a recess 28 which permits its lateral movement with relationto themilling disk 25 and also the polishing wheel 10. The guide 27 is alsoprovided with a polishing face 29' adaptedto polish'for bead thetop faceof the heel which forms the lower wall of the rand crease, the otherwall of which crease is formed by the adjacent portion of the upper, itbeing understood that the word heel is used in a general senseandineludes thatportion of the sole of the shoe" which intervenes betweenthe heel proper and the upper. The rod 15 acts to hold the rand guide 27"normallyconcentric with the polishing wheel 10, but the taperedextension 17 thereof is adapted to yield and permit the guide to move ina direction substantially at right angles to the axis of the shaft 11 orradially with relation to the r milling disk. 4 I In the use of thefinishing tool the operator presents the shoe in position for the randguide toenter'the rand crease,'pressing the heel against the tool untilthe rand guide bottoms in orrea'ohes the bottom of the rand crease whereit contacts with both the upper and lower walls of the'crease and firmlypositions the shoelaterally'with'relation to the milling disk. Thepressure is continued, the rand guide yielding, until the heel is forcedfirmly against the milling rotate in rolling contact with the heel, to

make a row or line of indentations alone the edge of the heel. In t! ismovement of the shoe the heel .is guided with relation to;

The} relation of the guide and the milling disk tothe work-as the rand crease varies 'ini depth is illustrated in Figs. 2and Referring to Figs. 4 and 5 in whichjthe" periphery of the guide 27and the periphery of the polishing wheel 10 are indicated by circles, itwill be seen that the rand crease 31 varies in depth from a to b (Fig.t) and thata pressure suflicientto cause-a yielding of the rod 15 will"result in the peripheryof the guide remaining incontae't with the bot-'tom of .the crease and also in thejperiphery of the milling diskremaining in "contact 80 with the heel throughoutthe 'e'ntire operation,whereas in Fig. 5 the rand crease 3'1 is constant in depth from "a to band is of maximum de th, in which casethe rod 15 will not yie'l but therand guide will re- 85 main in contact with the bottom ofthe randvcrease from a to b, andthe millin disk'will remain in uniform contactwith't e heel throughout the operation, It will thus be. seen that theguide which ismade large 40 enough in diameter to bottom in 'rand'creases of maximum depth, is adapted .to yield and; accommodate itselfto, creases, of minimum depth without disturbing therelat-ion of the?milling disk 25 and the polishin wheel to the heel. Consequently the guie, thepe riphery of which is always in contact-with, the bottom of therand crease 31, cannot move from side to sidein the depression.
